<p class="MsoNormal">Dear LA Council:<br>
<br>
We are trying to come up with a definition of a transfer graduate student, and it seems that there are policies at the UL System level and in our own Catalog about transfer admissions (GPA, good standing, eligibility to return, etc., etc.) but the definition
is not clear.<br>
<br>
Is it understood or implied that a "transfer admission" applies to a student who is
<u>enrolled elsewhere at the time of application</u> to your institution, or does it also apply to someone who dropped out of college for a while and is now applying to you? I know that we require transcripts of all previous college work regardless of the current
or prior enrollment status at the time of application.<br>
<br>
Thank you.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ramu <o:p></o:p></p>
